        All hack suggestions
    • Kem (+1 for George): Michael and Francisco should work on filter control parameters.
    • Kem: We need to understand how to optimize rolling cadences. (+1 cathy)
    • Kem (+1 for George, +1 Cathy, +1 Scott): Work needs to be done on MAF to understand transients in the context of rolling cadences.  Need to optimize a MAF transient metric.
      • Lynne: Should this be in another driver (not SStar)?  Build a Science Analysis driver
    • Kem: implement pex_config in a user-friendly way. (+1 cathy, +1 Michael, +1 Scott)
    • Kem: pull out cloud and seeing tables.  Have them talk over DDS to Opsim.
    • Lynne: Build a Science Analysis driver.  Remove SStar and replace with first look analysis, SRD-level analysis, then wider science analysis.
      • Need to talk to Kem and Cathy about what a first look analysis would need.
      • +1 from Peter, 1 ajc, +1 Cathy, +1 Michael, +1 Scott
      • George: Consolidate SRD metrics and must meet limits for those metrics, preferably before the Scheduler Workshop
    • Lynne: Build in a benefit function (i.e. prioritize low airmass feels or look through filters with the lowest sky brightness).
      • possibly should wait until after Scheduling workshop (+1 PY-maybe this is just getting a more in-depth look at the Opsim cost function–do we have any tools to visualize the cost function?)
    • Lynne: figure out use cases for something that makes run-to-run comparisons automatically. (+1 Cathy, +1 PY)
    • Peter: demonstrate progress on sky brightness calculator. (+1 ajc)
    • Peter: make sure we can combine multiple outputs into a single display. (does this refer to the movies? -Cathy.  This is related to breaking up the SSTAR config file, I want to be sure that we can dump the results from different configs into the same output directory without problems.  -PY)
    • Peter: need rotTelPos and rotSkyPos back in the OpSim output.
    • Scott: reconcile fact that OpSim pointings are for only one filter while catalogs simulate photometry for all filters.
      • A part of this is having a discussion about what we want the catalogs to be used for.  They are currently very specialized to act as PhoSim input catalogs.  That may not be the most generally useful application. (+1 ajc)
    • Darko: Put alert stream in Git and JIRA (+1 ajc, +1 Michael, +1 PY)
    • Darko: add UCDs to database.
    • Darko: get interface to PhoSim or GalSim to generate simulated cut-out that comes with alert stream.
    • Michael (+1 for George, +1 ajc, +1 Michael): need to get DDS to work. (Work with Dave Mills)
    • Michael: continue to review OpSim design.
    • Michael: go from generating catalogs using photons to generating an image. ( George: Isn't this the same as the training session on "pointings to images"?)
    • Francisco: emphasize the boundaries of all of the components of the simulation code.
    • Cathy (+1 for George +1 Cathy): need standard pipeline to perform and analyze and compare OpSim runs
    • Chuck: both sky brightness and seeing feeds into simulations (using Peter's model) could be implemented
  • No labels
